Sunday 22 December – Deck the Halls
We’re back. I mentioned in my last, misdated, blog that there wouldn’t be much progress at Kergudon for a couple of weeks and indeed there hasn’t. The reason is that David and I have taken a short break (I won’t use the term holiday!) back in the UK on a pre-Christmas tour of friends and…
Sunday 01 November – Fire & Ice-ing
A very brief blog this week as we have not completed too many tasks at Kergudon and the autumn has continued to be as unproductive at the end as it was at the start! I mentioned last week that a repair I had tried to make with a dishwasher – our own – hadn’t…
Sunday 24 November – Chop, chop, mow
Last week’s blog started with our frustration that the weather this autumn has been wet, really wet, and ended with the slight hope that there would be a short break in the near-continuous deluge. Thankfully, it turned out that the start of the week remained dry for 3 whole days! This meant that, while the…
Sunday 17 November – Raining champions
My last blog, 2 weeks ago, said that I was officially bored with the weather. Unfortunately that boredom has become a deep despondency as we have had no let up since – hence no blog last week and no photos this week. While we haven’t had Fishlake levels of ground water, and we feel deeply…
Sunday 03 November – Rain, rain go away!
I am now officially bored with the autumnal weather this year. Ever since we moved to Brittany in 2015, the autumns have been periods of beautifully crisp, clear, sometimes sunny days with minimal rainfall. This year it seems to be making up for the last 4 and has continued to be wet, windy and generally…
Sunday 27th October – Danshari
Last week I didn’t post a blog as the ‘Breton’ weather meant that we hadn’t made any great leaps forward. In the apology I posted on Facebook I said that the forecast for the last 7 days was ‘actually pretty good’ and so I had hoped to have a lot to update. However, the fair…
Sunday 13 October – Store-my Weather
I mentioned at the end of last week’s blog that, while we had made some momentum the previous week, the weather forecast for last week was likely to stall that – and so it proved to be the case. As such, this blog won’t be terribly long … We did experience some damp autumnal weather…
Sunday 6 October – Thorny issue
I said, at the end of last week’s blog, that autumns have often proven to be productive times for us in getting things done – and that it was about time we started making progress again. Thankfully, this week we have made more progress than perhaps any previous one since the start of the summer…
Sunday 29 September – Rakish behaviour
Apologies again for not posting a blog last Sunday. Not within my control this time but a result of being cut off from the internet (again) for a few days. Looking back, it has been a period of slow progress on a number of things with a number of smaller jobs tackled and, this week…
